In Sonnet CXVI Shakespeare doesn't prove that Love is not Time's fool.
Shakespeare suggests:
Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,
But bears it out even to the edge of doom.
But the poem ends:
If this be error, and upon me proved,
I never writ, nor no man ever loved.
That is: Shakespeare doesn't need to prove his point - since anyone who has ever been in love already knows that this idea is untrue. (And in fact, if you can believe such nonsense, you might as well also believe that Shakespeare never wrote the poem you have just read).

What does loves not times fool?
The line "Love's not Time's fool" is from Shakespeare's Sonnet #116. The meaning of the quotation hinges on the meaning of the word "fool". This word had a number of meanings to Shakespeare including a stupid person, a professional jester or comic and a child. The meaning here is the same as in the line from Romeo and Juliet, "O, I am Fortune's Fool!", where fool means a dupe, a gull, a slave or lackey. In the sonnet, Time and Love are personified, but Love, says Shakespeare, is not the lackey or servant of Time, so that whether we love or not can be controlled by the passage of time. The theme of the sonnet as a whole is that true love withstands time; it is eternal and unchanging.
